Very good, the place is beautiful, it looks like something out of a fairy tale, the organization is good, unfortunately you can't see the stage because there are performances, which is a shame because it must be beautiful, the exhibitions were very cool. The only thing is that there are a lot of stairs, I went with my grandmother and it was a little difficult to climb all the floors, there were elevators but from what I understood they were for the audience of the theater performances. But if that's not the case for you, or even if it is, it's still a great experience. It's so beautiful.

To optimize your self guided tour, try to arrive earlier in the morning, or toward the latter part of the day. Your ability to absorb the information provided, makes viewing the sights that much more impressive. Historically and architecturally you are very enriched.

The tour took me around major and notable places of interest in Paris. It was easy to get on and off the bus. The commentary explained the significance of each site on the tour. The river boat cruise was amazing. I had a most enjoyable day

The experience at Palais Garnier was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we entered, the grandeur of the architecture, the ornate ceilings, and the iconic grand staircase left us in awe. Every corner of the opera house reflects history, elegance, and artistic brilliance. The self-guided tour was well organized and allowed us to explore at our own pace, appreciating the intricate details and rich stories behind the space.

The atmosphere was calm, and it was very easy to explore everything at my own pace. The audio guide was helpful and made the experience even more interesting. Overall, it was a memorable visit and definitely worth it!

The opera is Beautiful, overwhelming - it was also enjoyable seeing the joy in others eyes as they experienced and imagined themselves as a performer. We were able to also see performers in costume who were posing for photos.
